Detailed Description

The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application may be applied to various communication systems, for example: fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) systems and Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. Among them, 5G may also be referred to as New Radio (NR).

In a wireless communication system, communication devices are included, and wireless communication between the communication devices may be performed using air interface resources. The communication device includes a network device and a terminal device, and the network device may also be referred to as a network side device. The air interface resources may include at least one of time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and code resources. The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly applied to wireless communication among communication devices. The wireless communication between the communication devices may include: wireless communication between a network device and a terminal device, wireless communication between a network device and a network device, and wireless communication between a terminal device and a terminal device. In the embodiments of the present application, the term "wireless communication" may also be simply referred to as "communication", and the term "communication" may also be described as "data transmission" or "transmission".

The terminal equipment related to the embodiment of the application can also be called as a terminal, is equipment with a wireless transceiving function, can be deployed on land, and comprises indoor or outdoor, handheld or vehicle-mounted equipment; can also be deployed on the water surface (such as a ship and the like); and may also be deployed in the air (e.g., airplanes, balloons, satellites, etc.). The terminal device may be a User Equipment (UE), wherein the UE includes a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, or a computing device having wireless communication functionality. Illustratively, the UE may be a mobile phone (mobile phone), a tablet computer, or a computer with wireless transceiving function. The terminal device may also be a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal device, an Augmented Reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in unmanned driving, a wireless terminal in telemedicine, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in smart city (smart city), a wireless terminal in smart home (smart home), and so on. In the embodiment of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of the terminal may be the terminal, or may be an apparatus in the terminal that supports the terminal to implement the function. In the embodiment of the present application, a device for implementing a function of a terminal is a terminal, and a terminal is a UE as an example, so as to describe a technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

The network device related to the embodiment of the present application includes a Base Station (BS), which is a device deployed in a radio access network and capable of performing wireless communication with a terminal. The base station may have various forms, such as a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay station, an access point, and the like. For example, the base station related to the embodiment of the present application may be a base station in a 5G system or a base station in an LTE system, where the base station in the 5G system may also be referred to as a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) or a gNB. In this embodiment of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of the network device may be a network device, or may be an apparatus in the network device, which supports the network device to implement the function. In the embodiment of the present application, a device for implementing a function of a network device is a network device, and a network device is a base station, for example, to describe the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

In a wireless communication system, when performing wireless communication between communication apparatuses, a communication apparatus that transmits data may also be referred to as a transmitting side, and a communication apparatus that receives data may also be referred to as a receiving side. Taking wireless communication between a base station and a UE as an example, the base station sends data to the UE, and when the UE receives the data sent by the base station, the base station may also be referred to as a sending end, and the UE may also be referred to as a receiving end; the UE transmits data to the base station, and when the base station receives the data transmitted by the UE, the UE may also be referred to as a transmitting end and the base station may also be referred to as a receiving end.

In the NOMA system, a transmitting end can process and transmit input data based on various possible processing flows. Illustratively, the transmitting end may process and transmit the input data based on the processing flow shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the process flow includes bit-level processing and symbol-level processing. Here, the bit-level processing may also be referred to as bit-level operation, and the symbol-level processing may also be referred to as symbol-level operation.

Bit-level processing includes Forward Error Correction (FEC) and interleaving/scrambling.

The FEC process is used to channel encode the input bits so that the receiving end can detect errors or can correct errors, and thus, the reliability of data transmission can be enhanced. In FEC, the input bits may be encoded by using a forward error correction code commonly used in the art. The common forward error correction code may be a convolutional code or a block code. When FEC is carried out, input bits are coded to obtain coded bits. The coded bits are forward error correction coded bits, which may also be referred to by other names, and the present application is not limited thereto.

When interleaving/scrambling, the bits are scrambled using a scrambling code for reducing interference between data. When interleaving/scrambling, the bit can also be interleaved by the interleaving method commonly used in the technical field, so that adjacent bits are dispersed, and concentrated error codes are avoided in the transmission process. The common interleaving method may be row-column interleaving, or interleaving according to an interleaving pattern (pattern). When interleaving/scrambling, if scrambling and interleaving are performed on bits, the bits may be scrambled first and then interleaved, or the bits may be interleaved first and then scrambled, which is not limited in this application. Different scrambling codes can be used for scrambling the bits of different UEs during scrambling, and different interleaving patterns can be used for interleaving the bits of different UEs during interleaving, so that the correlation among data of different UEs can be reduced, and the interference among the UEs can be reduced. The coded bits are interleaved and/or scrambled to obtain scrambled bits.

Symbol-level processing includes pre-processing output symbol sequence generation and symbol-to-Resource Element (RE) mapping. In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) -based communication system, which is exemplarily a 5G system or an LTE system, one resource element corresponds to one symbol in a time domain and one subcarrier in a frequency domain.

When generating the pre-processed output symbol sequence, the scrambling bits may be pre-processed to obtain the pre-processed output symbol sequence. The pre-processed output symbol sequence includes a positive integer number of symbols, which may be complex symbols. The pre-processing output symbol sequence may also be referred to as a pre-processing output sequence, and symbols included in the pre-processing output symbol sequence may also be referred to as pre-processing output symbols. When mapping the symbol to the resource element, the symbol in the pre-processing output symbol sequence may be mapped to the resource element, so that the transmitting end may transmit the symbol in the resource element. The symbol-to-resource element mapping may also be referred to as a resource element mapping or other names, which is not limited in this application.

Taking communication between a base station and a UE as an example, if a sending end is a UE, symbol-to-resource element mapping processing of different UEs can map respective preprocessed output symbols to the same resource element for sending, the preprocessed output symbols of different UEs are non-orthogonal, and the base station can receive superposition of a plurality of non-orthogonal preprocessed output symbols at the resource element; if the transmitting end is a base station, the base station may map the preprocessed output symbols of different UEs to the same resource element for transmission, and the preprocessed output symbols of different UEs are non-orthogonal. In this embodiment of the present application, the data to be sent may be data that can be sent over an air interface; or may be data that can be sent over the air interface after being processed, which is not limited in this application.

The process of obtaining the modulation symbol sequence for the UE may be referred to as pre-processing. The preprocessing may also be referred to by other names, and the application is not limited thereto. The mapping of the modulation symbols of different UEs to the same resource element for transmission may also be referred to as multiplexing of UEs, and the number of UEs that can be multiplexed in the same resource element may be referred to as a UE multiplexing number.

As the number of connections in a communication system continues to increase with the development of wireless communication technology, one possible approach is to increase the number of UE multiplexes in order to support a larger number of connections. NOMA may provide a relatively large number of UE multiplexes, as opposed to orthogonal multiple access. In the NOMA system, in order to further increase the number of UE multiplexes, the embodiments of the present application provide the following methods and corresponding apparatuses.

Fig. 2 shows a first data transmission method provided in this embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, a sending end determines a pre-processing output sequence according to a pre-processing input symbol and a mapping relationship between the pre-processing input symbol and the pre-processing output sequence, and sends the pre-processing output sequence. Wherein sending the pre-processed output sequence may also be described as sending the determined pre-processed output sequence. Determining the preprocessed output sequence according to the preprocessed input symbols and the mapping relationship between the preprocessed input symbols and the preprocessed output sequence may also be described as preprocessing, and the first data transmission method provided in this embodiment may also be described as: the sending end preprocesses the preprocessing input symbol according to the mapping relation between the preprocessing input symbol and the preprocessing output sequence to obtain a preprocessing output sequence, and sends the obtained preprocessing output sequence.

The pre-processed input symbol may be x symbols, and the combined value of the x symbols may be any one of M values. In this embodiment, the combined value of the x symbols may also be referred to as the value of the x symbols for short. The mapping relationship between the pre-processing input symbol and the pre-processing output sequence can be described as the mapping relationship between the M values and the M pre-processing output sequences. Where x and M are integers greater than or equal to 1, the preprocessed input symbols may be complex symbols, and a preprocessed output sequence includes positive integers of symbols. The M preprocessed output sequences are included in the first preprocessing codebook, which can also be described as including the M preprocessed output sequences in the first preprocessing codebook. In the embodiment of the present application, the preprocessing codebook may also be referred to by other names, and the first preprocessing codebook may also be referred to by preprocessing codebook a or other names, which is not limited in this application. The first preprocessing codebook is included in the set of preprocessing codebooks, which can also be described as including the first preprocessing codebook in the set of preprocessing codebooks. In the embodiment of the present application, the preprocessing codebook set includes an available preprocessing codebook, and the available preprocessing codebook includes an available preprocessing sequence.

In a NOMA system, in a conventional preprocessing method, a preprocessing matrix is configured, a preprocessing input symbol and the preprocessing matrix are multiplied to obtain a preprocessing output sequence, and a linear relationship exists between the preprocessing input symbol and the preprocessing output sequence. In order to reduce interference between UEs performing multiplexing, that is, to reduce correlation between pre-processing output sequences of different UEs, pre-processing matrices may be configured independently for different UEs, and the number of UEs that can be multiplexed is limited due to the limited number of pre-processing matrices. By the first data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application, the mapping relation between the preprocessing input symbol and the preprocessing output sequence is configured, the mapping relation is not limited to a linear relation, more low-correlation preprocessing output sequences can be introduced, and more low-correlation preprocessing codebooks can be introduced. When the preprocessing codebooks are independently configured for different UEs, the multiplexing number of the UEs can be increased while low interference among the UEs is met, and therefore the transmission rate of the system can be improved.

In the first data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the preprocessed input symbol is a modulation symbol, a mapping relationship between the preprocessed input symbol and the preprocessed output sequence may be set according to a modulation scheme.

For example, taking x is equal to 1 and the preprocessed input symbols are Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulated modulation symbols, the mapping relationship between the preprocessed input symbols and the preprocessed output sequence can be described in table 1. As shown in table 1, there are 4 possible values for each 1 combination of preprocessed input symbols, where the 4 possible values are q1, q2, q3, and q4, respectively, where,

The layer map output bits are preprocessed. Specifically, the output bits of each layer of layer mapping are preprocessed respectively.

If the transmitting end transmits data to be transmitted using CP-OFDM, the input data may be processed using the process flow shown in fig. 10. The processing flow shown in fig. 10 may include interleaving/scrambling, layer mapping and preprocessing, and may further include spatial domain coding and resource element mapping. The interleaving/scrambling, layer mapping and preprocessing methods are similar to the corresponding descriptions in the processing flow related to fig. 9, and are not described again here. The precoding and resource element mapping are similar to the corresponding descriptions in the processing flow related to fig. 4, and are not described here again.

In the various methods provided in the embodiments of the present application, the transmit end may be configured with a preprocessing codebook through pre-configuration or signaling. When the preprocessing codebook is configured for the sending terminal through the signaling configuration, the receiving terminal can send the signaling for the sending terminal, and the signaling carries indication information for indicating the preprocessing codebook configured for the sending terminal by the receiving terminal; the sending end receives the signaling sent by the receiving end, and the preprocessing codebook of the sending end is determined through the signaling. The transmitting end may perform preprocessing using the preprocessing codebook of the transmitting end. In this case, the transmitting end in the method is a receiving end in the signaling transmission, and the receiving end in the method is a transmitting end in the signaling transmission. Wherein, the signaling may include an identifier of the preprocessing codebook.

Illustratively, one of the set of preprocessing codebooks corresponds to an identifier, which is referred to as the identifier of the preprocessing codebook. The sending end receives a signaling sent by the receiving end, the signaling comprises an identifier of a preprocessing codebook, and the sending end takes the preprocessing codebook corresponding to the identifier as the preprocessing codebook of the sending end.

When the method is applied, exemplarily, the receiving end is a base station, and the transmitting end is a UE; the receiving end is a first UE, and the transmitting end is a second UE; or the receiving end is a first base station and the transmitting end is a second base station.

In the method, a preprocessing codebook may be independently configured for a transmitting end corresponding to each spatial layer. For a multi-antenna system, a transmitting end and a receiving end may use a plurality of transmitting antennas and receiving antennas, respectively, so that a plurality of spaces may be formed, and the plurality of spaces may be space-division multiplexed. For example, the multiple spaces may each correspond to one air interface resource, and data transmission may be performed on the multiple air interface resources at the same time. The multiple air interface resources may correspond to the same frequency resource. When the space division multiplexing technology is used, a high-rate data stream can be divided into a plurality of low-rate sub-data streams at a transmitting end, and different sub-data streams are transmitted on the same frequency resource on different transmitting antennas. Each sub-stream is also referred to herein as a spatial layer, or spatial subchannel. Therefore, when the spatial division multiplexing technology is used, in addition to the time domain dimension and the frequency domain dimension, the spatial domain dimension is increased, so that signals of different spatial layers can be distinguished from each other, and the transmission rate of the system can be increased.

In the various methods provided in this embodiment of the present application, the sending end may determine a preprocessing codebook, use the preprocessing codebook to perform corresponding preprocessing, send a signaling to the receiving end, and indicate the preprocessing codebook used by the sending end through the signaling. Wherein, the signaling may include an identifier of the preprocessing codebook.

Illustratively, one of the set of preprocessing codebooks corresponds to an identifier, which is referred to as the identifier of the preprocessing codebook. The sending end sends a signaling to the receiving end, the signaling comprises an identifier of a preprocessing codebook, and the receiving end takes the preprocessing codebook corresponding to the identifier as the preprocessing codebook of the sending end.

In the method, corresponding to each spatial layer, a transmitting end may independently determine a preprocessing codebook for each spatial layer, transmit a signaling to a receiving end, and indicate the preprocessing codebook corresponding to each spatial layer through the signaling.

In the various methods provided in the embodiment of the present application, the sending end may determine the set of the preprocessing codebooks according to the sending waveform. If the sending waveform is a first waveform, the sending end determines that the preprocessing codebook set is a first preprocessing codebook set; if the sending waveform is a second waveform, the sending end determines that the preprocessing codebook set is a second preprocessing codebook set; the first set of pre-processing codebooks and the second set of pre-processing codebooks are different. The difference between the first set of precoding codebooks and the second set of precoding codebooks may also be described as: at least one of the first set of precoding codebooks is not included in the second set of precoding codebooks and/or at least one of the second set of precoding codebooks is not included in the first set of precoding codebooks. In order to improve the data transmission efficiency, different sending waveforms have different requirements on the sent data, and therefore, the sending end determines the preprocessing codebook set based on the sending waveforms, so that the requirements of the sending waveforms on the data to be sent can be met, and the data transmission efficiency is improved. Illustratively, if the transmission waveform is DFT-s-OFDM, the preprocessing codebook set comprises a constant modulus codebook; and if the sending waveform is CP-OFDM, the preprocessing codebook set comprises a sparse codebook.

For a sequence in a constant modulus codebook, the modulus of each symbol in the sequence is the same. Illustratively, taking a symbol as a + jb, the modulus of the symbol is

Where j is an imaginary unit and a and b are real numbers. For a sequence in the sparse codebook, the values of the symbols in the sequence are 0. DFT-s-OFDM requires that the transmitted data itself have a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), and the constant modulus codebook may have a low PAPR. When the sending signal has a lower PAPR, the output power of the power amplifier can be larger, the efficiency is higher, and the coverage of the network is favorably improved. CP-OFDM requires that transmitted data have low correlation, and sparse codebooks have low correlation. The codebook with low correlation is beneficial to reducing the interference between the UEs, and can increase the multiplexing number of the UEs, thereby improving the transmission rate of the system.

In a first possible implementation, a receiving end may send a signaling to a sending end, where the signaling carries waveform indication information for indicating a sending waveform configured by the receiving end for the sending end; the sending end receives the signaling sent by the receiving end, and the sending waveform is determined through the signaling. In this case, the transmitting end in the method is a receiving end in the signaling transmission, and the receiving end in the method is a transmitting end in the signaling transmission. Wherein, the signaling may include an identifier of the transmission waveform.

Illustratively, one of the available transmit waveforms corresponds to an identifier, referred to as the identity of the transmit waveform. The receiving end sends signaling to the sending end, the signaling includes the identification of the sending waveform, and the sending end can use the sending waveform corresponding to the identification to send data.

In this implementation, the transmit waveform may be configured independently for the transmit end, corresponding to each spatial layer.

In a second possible implementation, the sending end may determine a sending waveform, send a signaling to the receiving end, and indicate the sending waveform used by the sending end through the signaling. The transmission waveform may be used by the transmitting end to transmit data, and the signaling may include an identifier of the transmission waveform.

Illustratively, one of the available transmit waveforms corresponds to an identifier, referred to as the identity of the transmit waveform. The sending end sends signaling to the receiving end, the signaling comprises the identification of the sending waveform, and the receiving end can use the sending waveform corresponding to the identification to send data.

In this implementation, the transmitting end may independently determine a transmission waveform for each spatial layer corresponding to each spatial layer, and transmit a signaling to the receiving end, where the signaling indicates the transmission waveform corresponding to each spatial layer.

In order to increase the number of codebooks, an embodiment of the present application provides a codebook generating method, where the codebook may be any type of codebook, and the present application is not limited thereto. Illustratively, the codebook may be a preprocessing codebook or other codebook.

The preprocessing codebook generating method comprises the following steps: the first preprocessing codebook comprises R sequences, and the relation between the R sequences and the sequences in the second preprocessing codebook is a linear relation, wherein R is an integer greater than or equal to 1. Illustratively, any one of the R sequences may be S_i、-S_i、S_ior-jS_iSequence S_iIs the sequence in the second pre-processing codebook, j is the imaginary unit. The values of different sequences in the R sequences may be the same or different, and the application is not limited thereto.

Illustratively, the second pre-processing codebook includes 2 sequences, denoted as { S }_n0,S_n1Then any sequence in the first pre-processing codebook may be S_n0、-S_n0、jS_n0、-jS_n0、S_n1、-S_n1、jS_n1or-jS_n1And j is an imaginary unit.

Still illustratively, the second pre-processing codebook includes 4 sequences, denoted as { S }_n0,S_n1,S_n2,S_n3Then any sequence in the first pre-processing codebook may be S_n0、-S_n0、jS_n0、-jS_n0、S_n1、-S_n1、jS_n1、-jS_n1、S_n2、-S_n2、jS_n2、-jS_n2、S_n3、-S_n3、jS_n3or-jS_n3And j is an imaginary unit.

For example, the first preprocessing codebook may be a preprocessing codebook used in preprocessing in the first to third data transmission methods provided in this embodiment of the application, and may also be a codebook in a set of preprocessing codebooks in the first to third data transmission methods provided in this embodiment of the application.

Based on the preprocessing codebook generating method provided by the embodiment of the present application, a fourth data transmission method is provided by the embodiment of the present application. In the fourth data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the sending end may perform preprocessing on input data based on the first preprocessing codebook and/or the second preprocessing codebook to obtain a preprocessing output sequence, and send the preprocessing output sequence.

By the preprocessing codebook generating method provided by the embodiment of the application, the number of the preprocessing codebooks can be increased, so that the multiplexing number of the UE in the NOMA system can be increased, and the data rate of the system can be increased. Further, the generated first preprocessing codebook may also maintain the characteristics of the second preprocessing codebook. In an exemplary embodiment, when the second preprocessing codebook meets the low PAPR, the first preprocessing codebook may also meet the low PAPR. Further illustratively, when low correlation is satisfied between the preprocessed sequences of the second preprocessing codebook, low correlation is also satisfied between the preprocessed sequences of the first preprocessing codebook.
